fajrdrako: ([Buffy])


Buffy the Vampire Slayer (3x01) - Anne
~ ~ ~

A change of pace: Buffy is out of her element, playing at being 'normal', which of course she can't manage. Not even briefly. But it gives her an almost-mythological break from her life as Slayer, time to recover and to sort out what she has become. Because of course the experiences of "Becoming" have changed her - though I haven't quite figured out what the title "Becoming" refers to: Angel's situation, or hers?

I missed the old situation... )

fajrdrako: ([Torchwood])


So frustrating.

A few hours ago I was trying to get something in the kitchen - always a challenge - and my crutch fell over and hit a bowl of salad on the counter, which landed on the floor and broke. I was able to pick up some of the bigger pieces of bowl (because I could reach them) but I can't do anything about the salad. I can't even think of any good ideas. A vacuum cleaner won't work on it even if I could move the vacuum. I can't pick it up with hands or tongs or paper towel because I can't reach it. I can't use mop or broom or dustpan because I can't use two hands. I can't think of anything to do except wait till someone with more limbs or dexterity than I currently have comes by, and then beg them to do it.

Meanwhile the salad sits on the floor, looking depressing.

I shouldn't let it get to me but I hate this helplessness.
